Welcome to Boardsies Greatest - Most Overrated Song - Live Thread.
There are 170 songs in contention to be crowned the most overrated song.
We will kick off with a qualifying round.
Format will be announced before each round.
The Beatles - A Day in the Life Vs Disturbed - Sound Of Silence
The Beatles are overrated as a band, IMO, but not that song. That is the one genuinely fantastic song and not the least overrated
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop Vs The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love
Actually, another Beatles song that really is pretty good and not overrated.
Kings of Leon - Use Somebody Vs Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli - Time to Say Goodbye
Love that duet
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe Vs Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall
Not terribly fond of Pink Floyd, and there's probably plenty of competitions where I'd vote for it as overrated, but not this round.
The Beatles- A Day In The Life (I love Disturbed)
The Beatles- Can't Buy Me Love (I just don't like The Beatles)
Kings Of Leon- Use Somebody (love Andrea Bocelli )
Carley Rae Jepson - Call Me Maybe (don't like this song at all )

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Thrift Shop Vs The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love (trash song)
Kings of Leon - Use Somebody Vs Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli - Time to Say Goodbye (The other song is better)

Q21
Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor Vs The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
Q22
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus Vs Cardi B - Bodak Yellow
Q23
The Pet Shop Boys - Go West Vs The B-52's - Rock Lobster
Q24
The Beatles - Yesterday Vs Paddy Reilly - Fields of Athenry
Yesterday?! Ah here. OK, maybe the most-covered song of all time could be described as over-rated, but I can't bring myself to vote for it as such.
To be honest, Cardi B is about the only one I can vote for here on my default basis that all rap is over-rated. It's up against the only other song I'd consider voting for here too.
I don't know Rock Lobster - sounds a bit annoying, but can't comment on whether it's over-rated. Traditional Irish stuff tends to be under-rated I find - a lot of people happy to put it down, so can't vote for the Fields. Go West is what it is; I don't think it has any notions of itself.
The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
Cardi B - Bodak Yellow
The Pet Shop Boys - Go West
Paddy Reilly - Fields of Athenry
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus
The B-52's - Rock Lobster
The Beatles - Yesterday
Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus Vs Cardi B - Bodak Yellow i wasn't aware that it was rated never mind overrated!
The Pet Shop Boys - Go West Vs The B-52's - Rock Lobster Love the song but it probably is overrated
The Beatles - Yesterday Vs Paddy Reilly - Fields of Athenry Beatles meh! All Beatles stuff is overrated
Jimmy Hendrix - Along The Watchtower Vs Oasis - Champagne Supernova
Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now Vs Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored
Ed Sheeran - Castle on the hill Vs Drake - God's Plan
Rod Stewart - Do Ya Think Im Sexy Vs The Beatles - Twist and Shout
The Beatles - I Want to Hold Your Hand Vs Creedance Clearwater Revival - Have You Ever Seen The Rain?
Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart Vs Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me
Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity Vs Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire Vs The Weather Girls - It's Raining Men
The Pet Shop Boys - Go West Vs The B-52's - Rock Lobster - Don't know either so can't vote
The Beatles - Yesterday Vs Paddy Reilly - Fields of Athenry - 2 great songs so refuse to vote.
Both pretty dire.
Now THIS is the sort of Beatles song that makes me think the Beatles are overrated. Though to be honest, FoA kinda is too.

Q25
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps Vs David Gray - Babylon
Q26

Q27
Green day - Boulevard of broken dreams Vs The Beatles - All you Need is Love
Q28
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday Vs Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
David Gray - Babylon
Phil Collins - Against All Odds
The Beatles - All you Need is Love
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run ; was wondering how long it would take for Captain Overrated himself to make an appearance
Same please.
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps Vs David Gray - Babylon - Dreadful song. if it was i gottta feelin i could understand how it might be considered overrated
Phil Collins - Against All Odds Vs Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights - don't think either of these are overrated but if i have to pick one
Green day - Boulevard of broken dreams Vs The Beatles - All you Need is Love - sorry but every Beatles song on here is going to get it form me.
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday Vs Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run - There's been a lot of talk about this song, maybe too much talk (see what i did there!)
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
Green day - Boulevard of broken dreams
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday
Kate Bush Wuthering Heights.
Pass on all others.
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday Vs Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run - Don't think either of these are overrated
I do like PC, but that wouldn't be a favourite, and WH is great.
Both are fairly overrated in fairness.
Easiest choice so far. Don't like U2, they are even more overrated than The Beatles (at least I like a few Beatles songs), and I love BS & BTR.
David Gray - Babylon - The BEP song is just garbage, whereas pub-singer David Gray's ascent to superstardom (in this country at least) is baffling.
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights - Look, I'll say it now, although it won't be popular around these parts, all Kate Bush songs are overrated. That voice is like a drill in my head, and this song is beyond annoying imo.
GreenDday - Boulevard of Broken Dreams - two good songs, I wouldn't say either is overrated, but All You Need is Love is one of my favourite Beatles songs so have to go for Green Day.
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday - again a tough call, but Born to Run is a classic and can in no way be considered overrated.
Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
Black Eyed Peas - My Humps 2 Vs 3 David Gray - Babylon
Phil Collins - Against All Odds 4 Vs 2 Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
Green day - Boulevard of broken dreams 2 Vs 3 The Beatles - All you Need is Love
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday 3 Vs 1 Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run
